Fifteen Million Merits ultimately serves as a cautionary tale—a provocative critique of societal structures that prioritize the monetization of every facet of life at the expense of individual identity and authenticity. The film echoes the fears and frustrations of our reality, probing questions about the relationship between capitalism and personal agency, and leaves viewers with a haunting reminder of the price we may pay for our desires in life’s relentless pursuit for merit.
